Sounds to me like a faulty installation. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/shiner.gif" alt="" />

This is a symptom of not enough push-rod free play. The piston is not fully retracting in its bore and cannot auto-compensate with the reservoir like it needs to.

The same thing can happen with the brake master cylinder and your brakes can drag and eventually lock up as the fluid warms.


Thanks for the info. I'll look into it tonight. When I replaced it I lined up the freeplay to the millimeter with the one I took out and adjusted according to the manual but that is a great theory. I'll try it.
